Silent Reader for a long time ......... Got the PPR today.
My story for the Immigration process is as follows:
Motivations for Canadian Immigration were:
- Crush on a girl (who recently got engaged with someone else!). Will be cursing IRCC for the rest of my life for slow processing of my case and IELTS organization for failing me for many times (lol).
- IT job market in North-America and opportunity to work in USA after becoming Canadian citizen.
My Profile and process:
